Bankruptcy After Divorce

Divorce and Bankruptcy Often Go Hand in Hand

Financial trouble can often cause a divorce — and a divorce can often cause financial troubles. Which came first is not as important as what you should do now. Our advice: Get the facts — the real facts — from an experienced bankruptcy attorney by contacting wantafreshstart.com.

Whether you are talking about the divorce itself or the possibility of bankruptcy, you should take advice from a lawyer, not your soon-to-be ex-spouse.

If you are in the midst of a divorce and facing bankruptcy, you are dealing with a lot right now. Your experienced bankruptcy attorney can take on the details of a bankruptcy filing for you.

  • Bankruptcy will stop the divorce — temporarily. But it can also make the divorce easier by getting rid of the community debt issues (including credit card debt) prior to the divorce being final. There will be no debt to divide after a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and the property settlement issues are likely to be resolved if you go through a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
  • Come in together and halve the cost of bankruptcy. If you take care of the financial problem before the divorce is final, you will both have debt relief for the cost of one bankruptcy.
  • Do not let creditors advise you. Creditors want their money. They don't care about your rights or your future. Get your legal advice from a lawyer, not a creditor.
